SAN BRUNO — Police have arrested a 34-year-old San Francisco man on suspicion of stalking.

Phone calls and text messages threatening violence against several people were first reported to police Tuesday afternoon. Jorge Macay was identified as a suspect in the case, and police said some of his statements indicated he had been stalking one of the victims.

Investigators spent the next two days keeping the victims safe while tracking down Macay, according to police.

Police said Macay was eventually arrested at a residence on the 700 block of Second Avenue and booked into San Mateo County Jail for stalking, making threats and possessing drugs.

Macay also was booked for $225,000 worth of warrants issued in San Francisco for crimes including assault with a deadly weapon, domestic violence and possessing stolen property.
